The aging writer Karl Šejnoh cannot write as well as before. Unfinished short stories pile up in his head, their characters climb into the light of day and demand that the author continue the plot. Everyone wants something. The photographer Matěj wants to get the impregnable Vendula from the pharmacy, Mr. Bohumil begs him to perform a miracle, the auto mechanic Bakalář would like to be a healer. Šejno's wife from the real world thinks that he should stop writing and finally devote himself to her. Comedy with elements of magical realism serves universal questions of human life with exaggeration and humor.
